The compounds of this invention form salts with various inorganic and organic acids and bases which are also within the scope of the invention. Such salts include ammonium salts, alkali metal salts, e.g. sodium and potassium salts, and alkaline earth metal salts, e.g. calcium and magnesium salts. Salts with organic bases may be prepared, e.g., N-methylglucamine, lysine and arginine, as well as salts with organic and inorganic acids, e.g., HCl, HBr, H₂ SO₄, H₃ PO₄, methanesulfonic acid, toluenesulfonic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid and camphorsulfonic acid.

Compounds of formula I may be prepared by several routes using methods known in the art.

For example, compounds of formula I can be prepared by condensing an acid of formula IV (or its hydrochloride salt) with an amino acid derivative of formula V: ##STR15## wherein R¹, R⁶, R⁷, R⁸, D, B, E and A are as defined above. The reaction is carried out in an inert solvent such as dimethylformamide (DMF) in the presence a condensing agent such as 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethyl carbodiimide hydrochloride (DEC) and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole, and where the compound of formula IV is a salt in the presence of a base such as triethylamine. The reaction is preferably carried out in an inert atomsphere at a temperature of 0°-25° C.

Compounds of formula V are known in the art, or may be prepared by methods well known to those skilled in the art.

Compounds of formula IV may be prepared for example from the reaction of a sulfonyl chloride of formula VI and an amine of formula VII: ##STR16## wherein D, B, E, R¹, R⁶ and R⁷ are as defined above and R¹⁴ is a readily removable ester protecting group such as t-butyl, benzyl or trimethylsilylethyl. The reaction is carried out at 0°-5° C. in a solvent such as tetrahydrofuran (THF).

Compounds of formula VI may be prepared from known starting materials using procedures well known in the art. For example, when D is of the formula IIIa wherein G is SO₂ and R³ is phenylethyl, the sulfonyl chlorides of formula VI may be obtained by reacting a disulfonyl chloride of formula VIII with aqueous ammonia at low temperature (dry-ice-acetone bath) in a solvent such as 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) in the presence of a base such as triethylamine to obtain a sulfonamide of formula IX, followed by reaction of the sulfonamide with phenyl propanal in a solvent such as DME and in the presence of an acid such as p-toluenesulfonic acid: ##STR17##

Similarly, when D is of formula IIIb, the sulfonyl chlorides of formula VI may be obtained by well known procedures. A typical reaction scheme follows: ##STR18##

Compounds of formula VII are prepared from known starting materials using methods known in the art. A typical reaction scheme is shown below for compounds of formula VIIb, wherein R¹ is hydrogen, R⁶ is lower alkyl, R⁷ is methyl, J is --(CH₂)--, L is phenyl, M is --CH₂ --O--CH₂ --, E is --NH--, and R¹⁴ is as defined above: ##STR19##

Details of the above typical reaction scheme are disclosed in Example 1, Parts A-E.

In the above reaction scheme, the triflate reagent, i.e. t-butyl 2(S)-(trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy)propionate, reacts by nucleophillic displacement with the α-aminoacid ester to give a high yield of the corresponding specific diastereomer of the resulting monoamino dicarboxylic acid ester.

Compounds of formula VIId, wherein M is (CH₂)₂ nd R¹, R⁶, R⁷, R¹⁴, J, L and E are as described above or formula VIIb, may be prepared as follows: ##STR20##

The above reaction scheme is exemplified in Parts A-C of Example 3.

A typical reaction scheme for the preparation of compounds of formula VIIf wherein L is a bond, J is --(CH₂)_(s) -- and M is --(CH₂)_(u))-- wherein the sum of s and u is 4, and R¹, R⁶, R⁷, R¹⁴ and E are as described above for formula VIIb is as follows: ##STR21## Example 5 provides details of this procedure.

Alternatively, intermediates of formulae VIIa or VIIc may be used to prepare compounds of formula I as follows: The R¹⁴ protecting groups (e.g. t-butoxycarbonyl) of compounds of formulae VIIa or VIIc may be removed, e.g. by trifluoroacetic acid, and the nitrile reacted with an amino acid derivative of formula V under the conditions described on page 7. The resulting nitrile can then be reduced to the corresponding amine, e.g., by hydrogenation, which amine can then in turn be coupled to a sulfonyl chloride of formula VI by conventional ethods. Similarly, intermediates of formula VIIe (i.e., compounds of formula VII wherein B is alkyl) may be deprotected at the carboxylic acid group and condensed with the amino acid derivative of formula V as described above, then deprotected at the amino group, e.g. by hydrogenation, and the resultant amine reacted with a sulfonyl chloride of formula VI by conventional methods.

Another method for preparing compounds of formula IV is that exemplified below for preparing compounds wherein D is of formula IIIa wherein G is --SO₂ --, J is --CH₂ --, L is --aryl-Z-- wherein aryl is phenyl and Z is ##STR22## M is --CH₂ --, E is --NH--, R¹ is hydrogen, R⁶ is ethyl, R⁷ is methyl, and R², R³ and R⁴ are as defined above: ##STR23## Example 7 incorporates the above procedure.

Another method for the preparation of compounds of formula I involves the sulfonylation of an amine of formula X with a sulfonylchloride of formula VI: ##STR24## wherein R¹, R⁶, R⁷, R⁸, B, E and A are as defined above. The reaction is carried out in an inert solvent such as THF in the presence of a proton acceptor such as N-methylmorpholine. The reaction is preferably carried out in an inert atmosphere at a temperature of 0-25<C.

Compounds of formula X may be prepared by well known methods, for example to obtain compounds wherein B is --CH₂ --C₆ H₅ --(CH₂)₂ --, E is --NH-- and R¹, R⁶, R⁷ and R⁸ are as defined above, compounds of formula VII(c) may be deprotected at the terminal carboxy group and then condensed with an amino acid of formula V: ##STR25## The nitrile of formula XII is reduced to an amine of formula X, e.g. by hydrogenation.

Compounds of formula I may also be prepared by condensing an aldehyde of formula XIII (or a reaction derivative thereof, e.g., an acetal) with an aminosulfonamide of formula XIV: ##STR26## wherein R¹, R³, R⁴, R⁶, R⁷, R⁸, B, E and A are as defined above. The reaction is carried out in an inert solvent such as THF in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid. The reaction is preferably carried out in an inert atmosphere at a temperature of 0°-80° C.

Compounds of formula XIII are known in the art or may be prepared by known methods.

Compounds of formula XIV can also be prepared by known methods, for example a sulfonamide of formula IX can be reacted with an amine of formula VII to obtain a compound of formula XV: ##STR27## wherein R¹, R⁴, R⁶, R⁷, R¹⁴, B and E are as defined above. The protecting group R¹⁴ is then removed e.g., by treating with hydrochloric acid in a solvent such as dioxane. The resultant product is condensed with an amino acid of formula V under conditions similar to those described above for the reaction of compounds of formulae IV and V to obtain a compound of formula XIV.

Yet another process for the preparation of the compounds of the formula I wherein X is sulfur comprises condensing a halide of the general formula XV ##STR28## with a thiol of the general formula XVI ##STR29## where R¹, R⁶, R⁷, R⁸, A, E, J, L, t and v are as defined for formula I and Hal represents halogen, preferably bromine. The reaction is preferably carried out in an inert medium at a temperature of 0°-25° C.

Compounds of the formula XV may be prepared by well known methods. Illustrative of such methods, is the following specific reaction scheme: ##STR30## Compounds of general formula XVI may also be prepared by known methods, the following specific reaction scheme being illustrative of such methods: ##STR31##

The known coupling methods above include amino group protection during the coupling reaction, for example with protecting groups such as N-formyl, N-t-butoxycarbonyl (t-Boc) and N-carbobenzyloxy (Cbz) groups, followed by their removal to yield compounds of formula I. Furthermore, the COR⁸ function wherein R⁸ is OH may be protected by removable ester groups such as benzyl, ethyl, t-butyl, trimethylsilylethyl and the like.

The more complex esters at R⁶ (i.e., R⁶ is other than hydroxy or alkoxy) are most conveniently prepared by esterifying compounds compounds of formula I wherein R⁶ is hydroxy and R⁸ is a protected hydroxy, e.g. benzyloxy, with the appropriate reagents, e.g. chloromethyl pivalate in the presence of base, to obtain the corresponding pivaloyloxymethyl ester; the benzyl group is then removed by conventional means, e.g. catalytic hydrogenation.

The compounds of this invention are useful in view of their pharmacological properties. In particular, they possess activity as antihypertensive agents, as evidenced b their ability to reduce blood pressure in mammals in which the blood pressure has become abnormally elevated. For example, compounds of this invention lower blood pressure in the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) model. Compounds of this invention also show activity as diuretic agents.

Since these compounds are also believed to act as angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, it is contemplated that they may be used in treating other cardiovascular disorders, for example congestive heart failure, in the same manner as other ACE inhibitors such as captopril and enalapril may be used. In addition, compounds of this invention may be used in the treatment of glaucoma by topical application.

The compounds of this invention can be combined with pharmaceutical carriers and administered in a variety of well-known pharmaceutical forms suitable for oral or parenteral administration to provide compositions useful in the treatment of cardiovascular disorders and particularly mammalian hypertension.

The daily antihypertensive dose of the compounds of this invention will be typically in the range of about 1 to about 25 mg/kg, of mammalian weight, administered in single or divided doses. The exact dose to be administered is determined by the attending clinician and is dependentuupon the potency of the administered compound, i.e. where the particular compound lies within the above range, as well as upon the age, weight and condition of the individual.

Generally, in treating humans having hypertension, the compounds of this invention may be administered to patients in need of such treatment in dosage range of about 5 to about 500 mg per patient generally given several times a day, thus giving a total daily dose of from about 5 to about 2000 mg per day.

The antihypertensive compositions containing the compounds of this invention will preferably contain from about 5 to about 250 mg of the active compound per dosage unit.

The compositions of the present invention are most preferably administered orally. Typical formulations for oral administration are those such as tablets, capsules, syrups, elixirs or suspensions. Typical injectable formulations include solutions and suspensions. Also contemplated are mechanical delivery systems, e.g. transdermal dosage forms.

The typical acceptable pharmaceutical carriers for use in the formulations described above are exemplified by: sugars such as lactose, sucrose, mannitol and sorbitol; starches such a corn starch tapioca starch and potato starch; cellulose and derivatives such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose and methyl cellulose; calcium phosphates such as dicalcium phosphate and tricalcium phosphate; sodium sulfate; calcium sulfate; polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinyl alcohol; stearic acid; alkaline earth metal stearates such as magnesium stearate and calcium stearate; stearic acid; vegetable oils such as peanut oil, cottonseed oil, sesame oil, olive oil and corn oil; non-ionic, cationic and anionic surfactants; ethylene gylcol polymers; beta-cyclodextrin; fatty alcohols and hydrolyzed cereal solids; as well as other non-toxic compatible fillers, binders, disintegrants, buffers, preservatives, antioxidants, lubricants, flavoring agents, and the like commonly used in pharmaceutical formulations.
